Flower Hummus Platter with veggies and feta

INGREDIENTS

Hummus: Go with roasted red pepper for color and a sweet, smoky flavor, or use your favorite variety.
Crumbled feta cheese: Adds a salty, creamy contrast and makes the “flower center” pop.
Cherry tomatoes or olives: Use whichever you love—both add color and a savory bite.
Fresh parsley: Just a sprinkle gives a fresh, vibrant finish.
Extra virgin olive oil: Adds a glossy, rich touch that makes the hummus even more irresistible.
Fresh basil leaves: For a garnish that looks pretty and brings a hint of freshness.
Pita chips or fresh veggies: Great for dipping—cucumbers, carrots, and bell peppers all work well!

POPULAR SUBSTITUTIONS & ADDITIONS

Different hummus flavors: Try garlic, lemon, or beet hummus for a fun twist in flavor and color.
Goat cheese instead of feta: Adds a creamier, tangier flavor if you’re not into feta.
Sliced radishes or cucumbers: Add extra crunch and color around the platter.
Kalamata or green olives: Switch up the type of olive based on your flavor preference.
Fresh dill or mint: Great alternatives to parsley for a different herb vibe.
Toasted pine nuts or sunflower seeds: Add crunch and a little nuttiness on top.

HOW TO MAKE A HUMMUS FLOWER PLATTER

The Gist: This pretty platter comes together in minutes with just a few fresh ingredients. You’ll shape the hummus into petals, add toppings, and garnish to create a flower that’s almost too cute to eat!

Adding hummus to center of a plate — **Step 1A:** Spread hummus in the center of a large plate, shaping it into flower-like petals with the back of a spoon.

Spreading hummus into petal shapes on a plate using the back of a spoon — **Step 1B:** Spread hummus in the center of a large plate, shaping it into flower-like petals with the back of a spoon.

Topping hummus with feta crumbles and cherry tomatoes in the center and fresh parsley — **Step 2:** Add crumbled feta and place tomatoes or olives in the center to look like flower pollen. Sprinkle with parsley.

Plated Flower Hummus Platter — **Step 3:** Drizzle olive oil over the petals and tuck a few fresh basil leaves around the outer edges of the plate for a fresh, springy touch.

De-licious!

TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST HUMMUS FLOWER PLATTER

Make sure to indent the petals. The spoon swirl makes the “petal” effect—simple but it holds the olive oil in the final step.
Use a big enough plate. A dinner plate gives you room to spread and shape the petals.
Don’t forget the garnish. Fresh herbs and a drizzle of olive oil take the look (and taste!) up a notch.
